I have been hoping they get Iminaga. I like that he throws strikes. That said, Bowden is rarely correct. He makes a weatherman look accurate.

If we sign him I am sure one will be traded 

Not necessarily. I don't think it's a huge deal if you have too many lefties/righties if they're good pitchers.

[Erstad Grit]

I read Imanaga has to have the deal done by the 11th, but not just the deal, the physical and all that comes with the process. 

The writer said he'd probably need to sign today or tomorrow to have enough window.

Maybe if we get Imanaga, we can get Bauer too. 

They were teammates after all!

Today or tomorrow might be a little aggressive, but it does mean he needs to get it done a few days ahead.

I’m thinking Monday or Tuesday.

I agree. I wouldn't mind 5 leftys in a rotation, if they were all good. I'm a big fan of lefty starters. Rightys are great when they have a power arm, but average rightys get rocked. I always hate seeing the Angels sign Joe Blanton types who are going to have a 4+ 5+ ERA.

Fixed

[Ochocinco!]

Bowden just seems to be a guy who throws sh*t at the wall at sees what sticks, more so than the other guys. Never a guy who breaks the big news. But atleast this gives us something to talk about today 

[Ochocinco!]

But to play along I’d Sign Imanaga and then send Sandoval & Evan White to the Red Sox for Jansen (+cash) and a couple of their top 20? prospects.

Do they need a 1st Baseman/DH? Or depth?

 

[tdawg87]

I think we should be adding to the rotation, not making lateral moves. I only consider trading Sandoval or Detmers if we're getting a legit moto bat in return. 

But that's just my opinion.

I think trading one is ok if you sign two. Otherwise, no. I would trade Sandoval, but not Detmers.

Been on the Imanaga train all offseason. It's the best idea out of all the starting pitching options (depending on Montgomery's price...) 

Silseth's stuff plays better out of the bullpen anyway, even though he was a bit better as a starter last year. Or you could gamble and deal Sandoval for a bat or another RH SP.

The stove is SIMMERING SLOWLY

He had better numbers/peripherals as a starter.

This puts Seattle in the market for Snell. 

[EdmontonAngelsFan]

Which rumors say is where he wants to play...

Hopefully Mariners overpay for Snell now too.

[jsnpritchett]

Angels about to announce a minor league signing of a 33-year-old middle reliever, just to show they're still makin' moves.

If Jerry is smart he would have learned his lesson with Ray and not sign Snell

Their rotation was set well before counting on Robbie Ray who is out until June/July.
